The best games are back-loaded.

Sevilla - Málaga promises to be a cracker. Málaga might have lost out on the 5-star start of opening with champions Barcelona at home but an Andalucian derby at the Sanchez Pizjúan isnt a bad compromise

Barcelona - Villarreal has catapulted into one of the best fixtures of La Liga in the recent times. This fixture almost always guarantees delightful football with the level skill on display in both these sides. Barcelona will be on short rest after playing the European Super Cup against FC Porto on Friday.

Among others, Granada x Betis is another Andalucian derby. This was a Liga Adelante (2nda division) derby last year but both teams got promoted into Primera this year. Should be a good game.

Happy that La Liga is back! Now lets relax and enjoy. Forzafutbol will bring a lot of great content every day of the season, as usual.

Viva La Liga!!!
